Kevin. Taking a dog to see if it has interest is one thing ( nothing wrong with that) but repeatedly taking one will ruin it! I've even done it. Made my dog short range and wouldn't use it's nose. Wouldn't hunt, I'm guessing because he expected me to find the pig for him (like walking one up to a bay pen a saying here's the hog, now bay) guess I should've put "IMO". I have two pups five months old that will bay any hog in a pen but that was to gain interest. Ill never put them back in a pen again. Only woods from here on out. I've seen they have all the interest they need now jus to see if they will make strike dogs or not. Not every dog will be finished no matter how hard u train them. Some jus don't have it. Not trying to say one mans training is wrong by no means. But "IMO" over use of a baypen CAN ruin the chances of a dog becoming a strike dog.
